Jon Moxley signs five-year contract extension with AEW

Jon Moxley has signed a five-year contract extension with AEW, extending his contract through 2027.

AEW announced Friday evening that Moxley will “work exclusively for AEW and its international partners, including New Japan Pro Wrestling” going forward. In addition to his wrestling duties, Moxley will be expanding his role in the company by mentoring and coaching talent.

“Jon Moxley is on the best run of his already legendary career, and this five-year extension ensures that he was not only here for AEW’s meteoric rise, but also remains a key part of the sustained success we’re witnessing, just days after the three-year anniversary show for ‘AEW: Dynamite,’” Tony Khan was quoted as saying in the press release. “Jon is a great world champion for us in his third reign. His wrestling mind is invaluable, and our roster is lucky to have the opportunity to utilize him as a mentor and a coach as we continue to build the stars of today and tomorrow.”

“I love AEW and the spirit of both the company and its fans,” Moxley said in the press release. “I cherish our shared passion for the sport of professional wrestling, and I’m going to dedicate everything I have in mind, body and spirit to helping AEW be the best it can be going forward.”

Moxley is the current AEW World Champion, having won the title for a third time in a tournament final last month at Grand Slam. He will next defend the championship against Hangman Page on the October 18 edition of Dynamite, a special Tuesday airing.
